Bieber’s twitter account, although not mentioning Bali by name, includes “tweets” announcing the 19-year-old was completing a musical project “in Paradise.” That the paradise was Bali was confirmed by pictures tweeted by Bieber and pictures of Bieber taken in locations outside his South Bali hotel.

Bieber’s view on Indonesian recording capabilities have apparently moderated since April 2012 when Bieber caused chagrin among his many Indonesia fans when he blamed the quality on one his musical tracks on the “random country” where the technicians “didn’t know what they were doing.” Bieber was referring to Indonesia, a fact confirmed by Bieber’s manager.

Bieber’s visit to Bali included stops at a nearby temple populated by wild monkeys, evoking a tweet at @justinbieber of “I love monkeys.”
